NECKTlE-HOLDER.

SPECIPICATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 308,998, dated December 9, 188

A ppliczltion tiled May 28, 1884.

troit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Collar and Necktie Holders;

and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, ref erence being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in the construction of devices designed to hold collars and neckties.

The invention consists in the peculiar construction of a metallic tie and collar fastener, all as more fully hereinafter set forth, and pointed out in the claims.

Figurel is a perspective view of my device designed for use upon a turn-down collar. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the device designed for use upon a standing collar. Figs. 3 and 4 are sections showing the application of the devices.

In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, A represents a flat metal bar, the ends of which are bent over in opposite directions, as shown, forming the hooks a and b. At or near the longitudinal center of this bar A, and forming an integral part thereof, are the arms a, This device being designed to be used on a standing collar, it is applied as follows: At the desired points eyelets are made in the band of the collar,

(No moduli.

through which one end of the device is inserted from the outside. This inner hook is designed to engage with a loop on the shirtband, while the necktie is engaged with the outer hook, and by these means the collar and necktie are retained in their proper positions.

\Vhere the device is to be applied on a turn down collar, the hook upon the outer end of the holder may be dispensed with, and the necktie is placed between the device and the collar-band, as shown on Fig. 3.

By the use of a device of this character the collar is prevented from hitching up, and the tie is likewise held to its position without the use of pins.

What I claim as my invention is- 1. A collar and tie holder consisting of a bar, A, provided with arms 0 and hook a, one endof said bar being designed to pass through the collar-band and engage with the band of the shirt, while the outer end engages with the necktie, when constructed substantially as set forth.

2. A collar and tie holder consisting of the bar A, provided with the hooks a b and the arms 0, when constructed, arranged, and operating substantially in the manner and for the purposes described.
